Multiple NASA telescopes recently helped scientists search the sky for supermassive black holes—those up to billions of times heavier than the sun. The new survey is unique because it was as ...
Astronomers observed flashes of X-rays coming from a supermassive black hole at a steadily increasing clip. The source could be the core of a dead star that's teetering at the black hole's edge.
Strange vibrations emanating from a supermassive black hole appear to be growing more frequent and they could be caused by a white dwarf star orbiting perilously close to its event horizon.
And every single one of those dots would be an accreting supermassive black hole." The universe could be packed with many more monstrous black holes ravenously feeding on their surrounding ...
The jets extending from these blazars can extend millions of light-years in length. Black holes are among the most mysterious cosmic objects, much studied but not fully understood. In pursuit of ...
